First cycle has begun [12 week Test-E]

[GhostChicken]

Pin #7. 183lbs
It's week four and i'm getting very excited to see the gains come rolling in, with hard work and strict diet of course! Today was chest and back, the pumps and vascularity are increasing daily it seems. Even when not lifting, the veins are popping like crazy. One thing i've noticed is an increased in "well-being" if you will. I have always had bad anxiety and over-think things, however in the past week all of that seems to be easing down. Is this a sign that i had low T for a while? Maybe, maybe not.

No strength gains thus far, just some good endurance as usual. Diet is on point, everythings on track. Left nipple has a gland(?) above it the the left alittle that seems swollen more than the right nipples'. Paranoia or problem? I've been taking Nolva ED @20mg and adex EOD @.25mg. Bloat is down from a couple weeks ago, although still retaining about 7lbs of water from the start. I have noticed my face seems to get hot and burning if i do get any sort of stressed or anxiety. I am trying to be careful to not take too much ai and crash my e2, so until i get bloated or feel anything major i'll up the dosage.

Getting bloods done on the 22nd, that'll mark week 6.

My bottle of Danabol Blue Hearts is getting harder and harder to ignore , but i know that's a bumpy road to travel, so i'll wait!

Pin #9. 183lbs still.

It seems pumps and acne are the only thing i'm getting so far. Weight isn't shifting, size doesn't seem to be increasing. Strength isn't increasing. It's still early so i'm not too worried . I had to pin my leg 4 times this morning because i hit or came close to a nerve each time, this has never happened repeatedly. Very irritating. Wanting to try delts maybe but it kind of scares me.

Other than that, nothing to report, getting bloods done next week

was it your left quad by any chance? that one is a pain 50% of the time! so I started delts which sucks on the first shot. but second hurts for maybe a few hours and I'm hoping gets better.

 

[Getbignotdietrying]

First was in left, felt nerve and pulled out, tried right, hit a nerve, moved up on the right, hit a nerve, went back to left and pinned. (switched needles and re-sanitized area each time). I will be getting bloods next week, probably monday or so. I know my test levels have to be up there but its my e2 i want to make sure is in check. I thinka bout gyno daily

Dude hit your delt. You'll thank me later lol. Are you taking arimidex?

 

[GhostChicken]

What are the chances of hitting a vein/nerve? And yes Adex .25 eod

 

[Getbignotdietrying]

Idk were all different. I do know on my delts it slides in quick and I haven't hit anything. The nerves are supposed to be low on the delt. YouTube it to be sure of where to hit. Center of shoulder 3 fingers down from top of shoulder is where I hit. .25 eod is what I was on when I got my bloods drawn and I was at 69 e. High but not ridiculously high. And I was supposed to take it that a.m that I had bloods drawn so that may have been a factor. Hit the delts bro. It'll be sore for a day or two not as serious as the first quad hit.

Just got back from the chiro after having acute low right back pain with sciatica everyday for the past year. Evidently degenerative disc disease , although it's not an actual disease. So meds and therapy for life. Not what I wanted to hear but it is what it is.

 

[Getbignotdietrying]

damn that sucks. gotta do what you gotta do keep it moving. get beast!

That's true man, only thing i've had to stop doing is deadlifts, which are my absolute favorite. But i'd like to play it smart and lift til i no longer find enjoyment.

deadlifts are great but yeah that back needs to be first priority. it could be worse, it could ALWAYS be worse! just enjoy the run. I know I am. been feeling awesome lately. lol

Pin #13, week 7 begins.

Haven't updated in a while, busy, mood has just been off...life in general! Anyway, i'd like to first point out that I may have had my hopes too high for a test cycle, and thinking steroids are like magic is truly a bad mindset. Hard work shows gains and I can see that, they're just not superman gains! Which is completely fine and awesome, i'd rather not be huge that easily.

Now, Today without any water retention, or as little as possible, i'm at 187lbs(started around 173ish), lean and bigger! Traps, chest, calves, shoulders are all coming in more. Diet has been on point pretty much and i'm happy with the progress thus far. My only complains are really bad back acne and lots of anxiety some days....

I got by bloods done last wednesday (mid of 6th week) and today, monday, i still have not recieved my results. I'm unsure if this is common but it's worrying me since i havent checked my e2 for 4 weeks. I started out with .25mg of adex eod but noticed hot flashes and some bloat, been on .5mg eod for 3 weeks now and i have no joint pain, no bloat, no hotflashes. I'm ASSUMING my e2 is in a good range but i'd l ike to KNOW. Pls labcorp..

No strength gains so far, but that's fine. Endurance is up, vascularity is through the ROOF, oh yea, and the pumps are from another world. I have been having bouts of depressive moods/days that are really unlike me, i'm assuming this is to do with my estrogen, possibly too low.

One last thing is i have a question for whoever is knowledgable about dbol who may be reading this, if my e2 is let's say crashed or near crashed, would taking a moderate dose (20-30mg) ed of dbol get it in a healthy range, or should i avoid that situation altogether?

Thanks for catching up if you are, more to come!

man I thought the same exact thing! lol. its definitely NOT magic how others make it seem when they see a big guy and say 'steroids'! its much more of a BOOST than a miracle shot.

no bacne here but I suffer from anxiety (clinical) dude some days I'm feeling great some days I'm a straight hypochondriac. anxiety sucks! just keep in mind. its all in your head!

again, keep e just a bit higher.. .25 eod should be ok. or maybe .50 e3d? try it out. I liked .50 eod had me all over my wife but then I got a few red spots on my face , not cool.

I've been on .5mg eod for three weeks now. im afraid of letting my e2 get high because i've already got bumps and lumps under my nips.

 

[Getbignotdietrying]

Fortunately I don't have that issue . But I still think you should adjust it a little better. Maybe .5 e3d?

 

[Getbignotdietrying]

Btw I responded in those quotes.

Oh i just noticed that, yeah i think i'll try .5 e3d for a bit and see how i feel on that.
